Hello,

         I ran across these articles recently, and thought that people
might be interested:

Baker, John C. and Lachman, Beth E., 2004. Can Publicly Available
Geospatial Information Present a Homeland Security Risk? EOM v.13, no.
5, p. 27-30. URL:
http://www.eomonline.com/Common/Archives/2004augsep/04augsep_CanPubliclyBaker.html.

This is a summary of the RAND Report, written by one of its authors.

Grady, Richard K., Geotechnology and Society: Homeland Security,
Privacy, and Data Acquisition. EOM: Earth Observation Magazine v. 13,
no. 7 URL:
http://www.eomonline.com/Common/Archives/2004nov/04nov_Geotechnology.html.

Also, a good explanation on NGA's plans to restrict high-resolution
imagery last fall is available in Geotimes:

Lubick, Naomi, 2004. Restricting Satellite Data Access. Geotimes v. 49,
no. 11, p. 14-15. URL: http://www.geotimes.org/nov04/NN_FOIArestriction.html

Bye for now. Linda Zellmer
